If you have a Disability benefit and are expecting to get it soon, you should know that in just a few days the Social Security Administration will be sending out the new round of checks to retirees in the United States. This means that those Americans will have available checks for payment, and you could be part of this group of retirees.
If you qualify for this new check, you could receive a payment of up to $4,018 this very week. And that’s only if you have a disability benefit. If we are talking about an Age Retirement check, the payment could reach $4,873 per month. While it is true that not all Americans can get such a large check, the payment amount does not determine whether we receive it sooner or later.
Thus, if we are retired, either due to disability or for other reasons, we could receive the payment in the next few days. Make a note of the day the checks will be sent, as well as the requirements to get them, and you will have perfectly organized all the money that will enter your bank account in the coming weeks. Do you already know which group of retirees you belong to?
New Disability Benefit Payment
This new payment for Disability retirees will only be for a specific group. This group is composed of beneficiaries prior to 1997. Thus, if your benefit started before that year, the payment will arrive in the next few days. Otherwise, there is nothing to worry about, since the payment will still arrive, although a little later.
Social Security will send the first Disability benefit payment in February
The exact day of this new Disability payment will be February 12th, and it will be, as we have mentioned, for retirees prior to 1997. We should also keep in mind that the checks for the rest of the retirees will also be sent on different days. The important factor in determining when we receive the payment is not the type of retirement but the year in which we started collecting the benefit.
Likewise, the rest of the retirees, those who started receiving benefits after 1997, will also receive their February payment. There is no need to worry if our retirement started after that year, as the Social Security Administration will still send the check to our checking account, but a little later. Therefore, it is crucial to pay attention to the payment schedule.
Other Social Security payments in February 2025
After the payment on February 12, 2025, Social Security retirees, whether for disability or other reasons, will have access to checks on different days of this month. If the benefit started after 1997, we must check the requirements to collect on one of the following days:
- February 12th: Retirees with birthdays between the 1st and 10th of the month.
- February 19th: Disability beneficiaries and other retirees with birthdays between the 11th and 20th of the month.
- February 26th: Social Security retirement beneficiaries with birthdays between the 21st and 31st of the month are paid on this day.
With this payment schedule, post-1997 disability retirees can also mark on the calendar the exact day in February they will receive their benefit. It is a very simple and easy-to-understand method, making financial planning much more manageable.
